United Against Hate Week (Nov. 14-20, 2021) is a call for local civic action to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns and cities. Redwood City stands united against hate, and we hope you will too.
As a symbol of your solidarity, consider displaying a United Against Hate Week sign, available for pickup at all Redwood City Public Library locations. Or you may download and print here. You can also join us for one or more events (listed below) and on the United Against Hate page.

La Semana Unidos contra el Odio (del 14 al 20 de noviembre de 2021) es un llamado a la acción cívica local para detener el odio y los prejuicios implícitos que son una amenaza peligrosa para la seguridad y la civilidad de nuestros vecindarios, pueblos y ciudades. Redwood City se mantiene unida contra el odio, y esperamos que usted también lo haga.
Como un símbolo de su solidaridad, considere exhibir un cartel de la Semana Unidos contra el Odio. Hay carteles disponibles para recoger en todas las ubicaciones de la Biblioteca Pública de Redwood City. También puede descargar e imprimir aquí.
